The Ghana Police Service is asking anyone with evidence of assault during the OccupyJulorbiHouse demonstration to make it available to the police service for onward investigation.
The Police said in a meeting with some leaders of the Democracy Hub Group, it was established that “there is no evidence or reported case of assault against the demonstrators according to Police records”
“Therefore, anyone with evidence to the contrary should provide it for investigation.”
This was contained in Statement on September, 22 and Signed by the Director of Public Affairs, Assistant Commissioner of Police Grace Ansah-Akrofi.
The meeting according to the police was to address concerns about the protestors’ planned demonstration at the Jubilee House.
The statement indicated that the police is not against any person or group wanting to demonstrate but rather its concern was the location of the Jubilee House as the intended venue for the demonstration.
“The leaders of the group assured the Police during the meeting that they would hold a discussion with their members to come to a possible compromise as to the venue of the demonstration and revert to the Police.”
“The leaders also assured the Police that they would talk to their members to leave the streets while awaiting either a compromise decision between the Police and the demonstrators on an alternative venue or the determination of the matter by the court.”
